How do I create my own ripples?

Story by Babette – read time approximately 2,5 minutes

“It only takes one action to start a ripple effect.”

“What can we do?”, we once wondered… ”And what does one person matter?”, we once asked ourselves. With topics that are important to the Ripple, we’ve often questioned how we – as individuals – could make a difference and play a positive role in tackling world problems, such as climate change or human injustice.

We are happy to tell you that we have found the answer: By just doing it! No matter how big the challenge seems, no matter how small the step is, no matter how insignificant you feel, you can always make a difference. In fact many movements and important changes have been set in motion by ordinary individuals like you and me. Now that’s great news, isn’t it!? The most important thing is to just start acting like what you do makes a difference… because it does! And remember: It only takes one action to start a ripple effect.

Making a difference together: Turning trash into treasure

Would you also like to create your own ripples? Or do you like what we are accomplishing? Here are a few easy and inspiring things you can do to get involved:

Learn more “The expert in anything was once a beginner.”

Staying informed on topics that matter has always been very valuable to us. It supports our (personal) growth, helps us keep an open mind and stay flexible with our thoughts. Click here to learn more about the subjects that have inspired the Ripple. Have fun diving in to them!

Share ideas “Great satisfaction comes from sharing with others!”

Maybe you have a brilliant idea that will help others live a healthier, richer life with more freedom? Or maybe you’re working on a sustainable innovation that we all need to know about? Let us know here, so we can help you promote your idea or you can help us improve ours.

Help out “We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.”

The Ripple strongly believes in strengthening actions by working together. We each have talents and assets that we could put to valuable use. Maybe you would like to volunteer (not yet available) on beneficial projects? Or maybe you would like to help us spread awareness by becoming an online Ripple ambassador? Tell us here if you’d like to lend an actual helping hand.

Donate “Giving is not just about making a donation, it’s about making a difference.”

Our goal is to stay financially independent. We are spending our own time and money on the projects we create and implement, but always welcome donations to further help us achieve our goals. Your financial support – no matter how small – will be greatly appreciated! Click here if you would like to make a donation to the Ripple (not yet available).
